Refined Design
Cove Collection by Knoll is the third of Dan Grabowski’s designs for Knoll, taking its name from the natural inlets that provide shelter from the sea. Its essential quality is refinement, featuring a slim profile, minimalist construction, and beveled edges. Deftly concealed cable management offers an uncluttered sightline, and a plinth base gives each piece a continuous line from the top edge to the base.
Versatile Components
Refined and refreshingly light in scale, each element in the collection is skillfully constructed with the warmth and precision for which Knoll is renowned. Components include credenza storage, overheads, shelves, wall panels, fixed and height-adjustable desks and technology cabinets—all available in an array of sizes and combinations.
Honest Materials
Cove Collection by Knoll is crafted from honest materials: premium metal, back painted glass, and fine wood veneer that brings the natural world inside. Elegant and refined, the collection is emblematic of the skilled woodworking, high quality materials, and fit and finish that have been Knoll signatures since 1938.
Knoll Craftsmanship
Knoll seamlessly combines technology and craftmanship to create beautiful products of enduring quality. The collection’s design takes full advantage of the Knoll wood finishing process, including the careful selection of pieces of veneer from the same flitch, and the processing of individual components all at once.
Dan Grabowski
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Dan Grabowski grew up fascinated by cars, and attend the preeminent school for automotive design in the United States, The College for Creative Studies. While studying the work of Harry Bertoia as a college student, he was inspired to design things that were as beautiful as they were functional, honoring his meticulous attention to the smallest detail.
Early in his career he designed consumer goods ranging from power tools to infant care products, but when he began designing furniture, he found his calling. Grabowski is especially passionate about case goods, as evidenced by the elegant storage solutions and sumpuous aesthetics of Cove Collection by Knoll.
